Proud Labour Member for Over 47 Years

Dear Editor, and avid readers,

Mr Alastair P G Welsh is a member of Momentum, well he must be, isn’t he, I’m sure he is? For over 12 months now he has been telling the Newton News, and you, its readers, that he has real insight and information on all Aycliffe Labour Party members and its Councillors, telling you that by not declaring our support we are guilty as charged and must be members of this cancer and evil movement. Yet, throughout this period, he has not provided a single piece of evidence, except to say ‘it’s in our actions and the ideology’ that we support.

Well Mr Alastair P G Welsh, you have finally flushed me out of my evil, cancerous coven, I am here to declare, yes I am a member of the Labour Party, I am a proud member of some 47 years with an ideology that supports fairness and equality, social justice and compassion, decency and security for all in our society.

Please do judge me by my actions as I try to make Great Aycliffe great and the best place to grow up in and the best place to grow old in, therefore if that means I’m a follower of little ‘ducks’, that is Sedgefield Labour Party, then I’m guilty as charged.

So Mr Welsh, you seem to believe that if you continue to tell a lie and state falsehoods often enough you make it the truth, I believe the people of Newton Aycliffe deserve better than you ranting on every week about a non existent Momentum, we are fed up of hearing your negativity, and creating division, what our town needs in this time of crisis is a positive mental attitude, of yes we can get through this, but let’s do it together.

Yours sincerely

Labour Cllr Eddy Adam

Aycliffe West
